Cash App Settlement Due Date: All You Need to Know If you’ve been using Cash App from 2018, this news will blow your mind. The deadline for filing a claim for the hefty $15 million class action settlement is drawing near. You could receive as much as $2,500, and believe me, this is a situation you cannot afford to miss; you’ve got roughly a week’s time to file your claim.
Litigation and Causes of Action Last year, Cash App and Block Inc., the parent company of Cash App Investing, faced grave accusations. The company had been accused of negligence when a former employee had done unauthorized access to user account data. After this, Block sent notifications to about 8.2 million current users and ex-users about the issue of security.
Another Security Breach for Cash App In 2023, another Law Suits claimed that Block’s acts of negligence had again marred the Cash App. In this instance, an unrecognized user was said to have been able to breach certain Cash App accounts using recycled phone numbers associated with such accounts.
Accusations Against Cash App Block and Cash App Investing were unbegrudgingly said not to be taking enough precautionary measures to get user accounts secured or failingly complain of inappropriate closure of customers’ complaints about unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.
